Equipment
413/380hp, pushbutton automatic, wheel covers, whitewalls, boot cover, dual mirrors, power windows, pushbutton radio, dash clock, factory air conditioning, power swivel seats. Leather upholstery.
Condition
From the David Disiere collection. Represented as one of 140 300E Convertibles, AACA Junior and Senior awards in the early 2000s. Formerly in the John Staluppi collection. Good older paint with light detail scratching and general age but no major flaws. Lightly worn leather but otherwise great interior. Straightforward, forgivable age takes little away from how desirable this rare Chrysler Letter Car really is.
Market commentary
Sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2001 for $71,280, at Mecum Indy in 2018 for $286,000 and at Leake Scottsdale in 2020 for $242,000. It has been judged exceptional so many times that it has only a few age-related flaws and the Kissimmee bidders ignored them in favor of this prime price for a beautiful 300 convertible. Not many 300E convertibles are this good nor so distinctive and menacing in black.
